Irreverent and timely doc about reproductive freedom, pronatalism and #childfree lives. Dua Lipa says it's "an urgent documentary."

[Therese Shechter @TrixieFilms]

Our groundbreaking film My So-Called Selfish Life reveals the ways pronatalism impacts not only politics but also our personal lives - whether we have children or not. “Fascism treats women as mere breeders” said a 1945 US military pamphlet. Still true today.

See you at @nwsa on Nov 16th! I'll be part of a panel called "Beyond Barbie," talking about how I use pop culture to teach feminism 😍

[Therese Shechter @TrixieFilms]

Good day to revisit my podcast conversation with @PopnBalance about how a government in control of our reproduction is also in control of our lives.

Loved being on this podcast and talking about the growing #childfree voting bloc (thanks to JD and Co.), the ways #pronatalism affects us all, and of course my film #MySoCalledSelfishLife. Sorry Not Sorry! https://t.co/fkjzTrOLNE
Thank you Alyssa Milano and Ben Jackson.

He’s sexualizing her as a form of degradation and punishment for her endorsement of Harris. It is retaliatory sexual harassment.

I can't quite believe this day has come -to borrow a phrase, it's a day I've been dreaming about since I was a little girl. Published author. And I'm overwhelmed by the feedback #Fledging has received so far. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me on this journey 🙏

@shannoncoulter How about we redefine the meaning of family to include "our partners or polycules; our parents, siblings, nieces, nephews; the people and animals we share our homes with; and all the others we need time to care for or be joyful with — including ourselves" #childfreefamilies

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

infuriating to see men suggesting that the purpose of older women is to assist in raising children when their true purpose is to solve crimes.

[Therese Shechter @TrixieFilms]

@shannoncoulter This 'future of society' claim is ridiculous and they know it. Every person without children who pays taxes is supporting the future of our society. Our tax dollars pay for the public schools that others will be sending their kids to, yet we will never need.

@OMGchronicles @shannoncoulter Please DM me @OMGchronicles! I'm happy to send you a screener of My So-Called Selfish Life.

In addition to Ellen Peck's influential book "The Baby Trap," check out "Pronatalism: The Myth of Mom and Apple Pie," which she co-authored with Judith Senderowitz in the early 1970s. We've been talking about the insidious dangers of pronatalism for decades!

[Therese Shechter @TrixieFilms]

@shannoncoulter The founders of the National Organization for Non-Parents were expert organizers. They created groups across the US to open the door for people who didn't want to have children. PLUS their work was covered by national media...unlike today!

[Therese Shechter @TrixieFilms]

@THEVDOVault Once again us ladies are being difficult and not actually doing what trolls think we should be doing.

“The decision to raise kids is shifting from ‘something that’s just an essential part of human life to one more choice, among others,’ said @a_n_a_berg, an assistant professor of philosophy at @UCIrvine.” @cdcaron https://t.co/cJr0aiDpGR @rachelcwiseman @UTPopCenter @TrixieFilms
